a magical artifact, should be the one Zhao Yan left in the clam shell at the bottom of Lake Yuanzhao Peak. It was used to imprison the Yuanzhaomen disciple who guarded the Nine Fantasy Heavenly Orchi...Although one can learn this skill independently, mastering and skillfully using it is not easy.

Qin Sang's split sword light wasn't only flawed and short-lived, making it unusable for combat. As he traveled, he pondered over it, finding swordsmanship increasingly profound.

The path of immortality is long and arduous, every single road is not easy!

Soon, arriving at the upper reaches of the river where he drifted, Qin Sang flew low, his divine sense scattering and diving deep into the earth to see if there were any unknown beings in the dark river.

Came away empty-handed.

After entering Qingyi River, Qin Sang concealed her figure and followed the current downstream. She landed behind Qianhu Village's mountain, her brows slightly furrowed. There was no one in the room.

He left Qianhu Village, from healing to breaking through, it was less than twenty days, but a thin layer of dust had accumulated on the desk in Yagu's room, and she herself was nowhere to be seen.

The mute woman was very hardworking. If she still lived here, she would definitely clean every day.

"Has the tribe accepted the mute woman now that her birthmark and muteness have been cured"

Qin Sang thought to herself, leaping forward into the village, but still couldn't find the mute woman.

Ever since her grandmother passed away, the mute woman lived alone and was not accepted by the tribe. She dared not travel far on her own and had never left Qianshuzhai Mountain since she was a child.

Even during the Wushen Festival, when all the surrounding villages held gatherings with singing and dancing, the mute woman could only stand alone on the mountaintop, gazing towards it.

"The Wushen Festival is just around the corner. Could it be that Ya Gu has made a friend and will be going to the celebration together"

Qin Sang knew that the mute girl was eagerly anticipating the Wushi Festival, but despite trying to think positively, he felt something was amiss.

A divine spark swept across, finally finding a familiar face, the witch doctor grandfather of Mu.

The elder was the only medicine man in Qianhudai, held in high regard and lived in one of the best stilt houses in the village. His house faced Qingyi River, offering a wide view.

At this time, the old man was pounding medicine in his room. There was no kindness from before, his face was ashen, and he seemed to have a grudge against the pestle, pounding with great force.

“Who”

The old man caught a glimpse of the curtain moving in his peripheral vision, as if someone was there. He immediately became alert.

Then, the lights in the room dimmed, and a young man appeared at the window as if out of thin air. He wasn't from the village, but his features seemed somewhat familiar.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The old man's eyes shifted, looking at the man's left shoulder. His arm was still attached to his body.

"Who are you"

The old man touched the cane beside him and became very alert.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Doesn't the old gentleman remember me"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Having taken a few doses of medicine from the old man, although it was not very effective, Qin Sang treated him with courtesy and said in a gentle voice: "A few days ago, I was seriously injured and lost an arm. I drifted on the river surface. Fortunately, Mr. and the mute woman rescued me. The wounds on my body have finally healed, so I came to express my gratitude, but I didn't see the mute woman. I don't know where she went"

“It's you!”

The old man recalled Qin Sang, his eyes suddenly reddened, and a look of anger appeared on his face. He gritted his teeth and snarled, "You saved Dumb Girl's life, but you made her suffer so much! Do you even have the face to mention her!"

"What"

Qin Sang frowned and said in a low voice, "The mute saved my life. How could I possibly harm her Before leaving, I felt grateful for the mute's kindness and gave her medicine to cure her muteness and birthmark, allowing her to return to a normal life... What exactly happened"

Qin Sang had already realized that something must have happened during this time.

He knew that after she recovered from her illness, life would definitely change drastically, and her tribe would all investigate the reason for her recovery.

It's excusable to cure one disease.

Both baffling illnesses recovering miraculously will definitely cause a stir.

A mute person has no power and may even bring disaster upon themselves.

Before leaving, Qin Sang warned the mute girl to pretend to be mute first. She should tell her clan that the Shaman grandfather had cured her birthmark with a rare and peculiar medicine.

The villagers of Qianhutou considered Di'gu a harbinger of disaster. Besides the various coincidences, a major reason was their prejudice against her appearance. They believed that the birthmark on her face was a curse from evil spirits.

If she gets rid of her birthmark, the mute woman can try to integrate with her own kind and live a normal life.

Qin Sang is preparing to return and teach Ya Gu the immortal arts or martial arts. When Ya Gu has the power to protect herself and can speak again, she will no longer be afraid.

Unexpectedly, an accident happened in such a short time.

He also left behind a copper coin, just in case, but that didn't work either.

Who harmed the mute woman

Qin Sang's expression turned cold, and a deep killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The old man felt Qin Sang's aura suddenly change, as if a killing star had descended upon the world.

But the old man’s compassion for the mute woman made him fearless. He pointed at Qin Sang and said bitterly, “It's because you cured the mute woman's birthmark that she was chosen as a Saintess by the Winged Serpent Clan! The Winged Serpent Clan only chooses beautiful girls. If it weren't for you, the mute woman would still have her birthmark, how could she have been chosen”

"Saint"

When he heard it wasn't life-threatening, Qin Sang felt relieved.

He had seen the Winged Scorpion Village on the Five Insects Gate's topographical map. The Winged Scorpion Village was the overlord of the Thousand Households Village and the surrounding area. The village priest was a cultivator, and there was even a Foundation Establishment expert, whose strength was several points stronger than that of the Sky Moon Village.

Qin Sang didn't know much about the shamanic tribes of the Western Regions, and he wasn't sure what "Saintess" meant. Hearing that Yagu was chosen as the "Saintess" by the Yuchi tribe seemed like a good thing.

But it's definitely not that simple!

The Wu tribe practices corpse refining, insect control, and god worship, some of their customs are quite sinister.

"What do the Winged Serpent Tribe make their chosen Saintesses do"

Qin Sang's expression was solemn, and he asked in a low voice.

The old man shook his head weakly, tears glistening in his eyes. “I only know that the girl chosen to be the holy maiden of the Yuhui tribe never appeared again! This poor child, Mu Gu, has had such a hard life…”

The old man slumped to the ground. Qin Sang listened as he recounted his experience and finally understood what had happened.

It turns out that the Yixi Tribe has a rule. Before the Wushen Festival every year, they select young, pure maidens who have just come of age from the various tribes under their control. They are chosen to be the Saintesses of the Yixi Tribe.

The Winged Scorpion Clan regards "Saint Women" as an honor, believing they are blessed by the Spirit God. However, each clan is not foolish. After the Spirit God Festival, those Saint Women disappear without a trace and are never seen again, definitely hiding some unknown secrets.

But first, the priests of Yihui Zhai are witch envoys. They are all mortals and dare not defy.

Secondly, the Yixui Tribe does not demand tribute from the same village every year. Each village takes turns offering a "sacred maiden" once every year. Within their range of influence, they simply accept this cruel custom as a given.

This year, it just so happens that Qianhùzhai's turn to offer up the 'Sacred Maiden' has arrived, and Yǎgū is about to come of age.

The Winged Serpent Clan selected its Saintess based on appearance. If Qin Sang hadn't cured the birthmark on her face, the mute woman could have avoided this disaster.

"How is the "Saint Maiden" chosen in Qianhu Zhai"

Qin Sang's voice was cold as she asked.

The old man let out a bitter laugh. "Everyone wants to get rid of this 'disaster' called the mute girl, some have even wanted to kill her, do they need to choose"

>

"All of you are going to die!"

Qin Sang let out a cold snort, turned around, and looked at Qianhuzhai outside the window.

There was a cold gleam in his eyes, but he didn't make a move. That would be overstepping boundaries.

The mute woman was orphaned at a young age. She was able to survive thanks to the help of her tribe.
